Accessibility

Just a Note:
I love my Mac. But there are a few things better suited for your iPad
and iPhone. GPS comes to mind.
Accessibility programs may well be another. Go to the iOS App Store
and do a search.
Apps like LAMP Words For Life,
TapTapSee or
P3 Mobile just aren't as practical sitting on your desktop.

Braille Writer Pro is the first and only word processor for Grade 1
(uncontracted) and Grade 2 (contracted) Braille for Apple’s Mac Platform
The software comes complete with Braille to English translation
capability. You can also use this program to type and save UEBC but the
translation functionality will not work. If you want to use UEBC, we
recommend Braille Writer Student.
Features

– Translates Braille to English
– Reads / Writes .DXB files
– Supports emailing and printing files with and without translation
– Dictionary that supports both Braille and English
Braille Writer Pro was designed to be helpful for sighted people working to learn Braille.
Braille Writer Pro and Student use a standard Apple Keyboard. Please
note the keys are configured in the menu item Window | Configuration. If
your keyboard does not normally support all 6 keys being pressed at
once, you can configure one of the keys to be a shift key (example
shift, z,x,b,n,m for the 6 dots).

double clicks, drags, operate menu's and even enter text (with optional
OnScreen keyboard). The user interface is incredibly intuitive. All
operation is supervisor-controllable to fine tune CrossScanner to the
needs of the user.

Like Siri on your iOS devices, Siri on your Mac is your intelligent
personal assistant that helps you multitask and get things done just by
asking. For example, while you work on a document, you can ask Siri to

way - without having to stop what you’re doing.

Use your voice to enter text on your MacIn macOS Sierra, you can ask Siri to “turn on Dictation” for you. Siri isn't the same as Dictation, but you can ask Siri to compose short messages, such as email and text messages.

SmartClick 1.6.2

SmartClick is a cool utility, for the Mac, that permits a person, that
can operate a pointing device, like SAM-Joystickor a Tracker or
HeadMouse, but cannot click any buttons, to perform all button
functions. Using the dwell principle, whereby you 'hover' over something
long enough, you can accomplish all the functions on the floating
palette (pictured above), within any software.
SmartClick was also designed for those that can only click 1 button or
switch.
The SmartClick palette (like an artist's palette) contains buttons for
functions. The user simply select their function, and then dwells, or
single clicks, over their target. The function turns itself off after
use.
Requires: any pointing device; SAM-Joystick works great; HeadMouse or Tracker compatible also.

TapTapSee is a mobile camera application designed specifically for the
blind and visually impaired iOS users, powered by the CloudSight.ai

In TapTapSee, the user double-taps the device’s screen to photograph any
two or three dimensional object at any angle, and have it accurately
analyzed and defined within seconds. The device’s VoiceOver then speaks
the identification audibly to the user.
